Do you have any tips for cutting men's hair?

My boyfriend grew his hair out (not really long, but about 3-3.5") and it's starting to look a little ragged at the ends. He wants me to trim his hair instead of having to pay for it (which I'm fine with) but I've never cut men's hair before. I've cut long hair straight across, but with his hair it is all at different layers, so to speak...like men's hair often is. Any tips or how-tos from people who have done it before?

I cut my husband's hair, but it is short. I find it's better to cut in vertical sections rather than horizontally, then you don't get what I call the "shelf look". But that might be different for longer hair. As long as you are paying close attention to how much you cut off of each section, it's really hard to screw it up.

Besides the obvious answers of HOW to cut a man's hair. Please talk to us. For men, it is one of the most awkward things to do. I hate going for haircuts because I can never tell if the hairdresser wishes to talk to me and I never know how much to tip her. Also, I never feel comfortable enough around certain hairdressers to ask them to shape up my hair exactly the way I wanted it. If there were some hair salon that knew how to treat us scared men when we come in, I'd be all over it!

If you don't know how to cut hair, just shave it all off. It'll look better than if it were messed up, plus you won't have to worry about messing it up. Everyone wins.



Does anyone else think the first guy looks like Howard Stern? No offense to the first guy if you don't want to look like Howard Stern, or if you actually are Howard Stern.

I fade my husbands hair and I am not even a stylist I also cut my two kids hair, it is very hard at first. If you start they wont let you stop. It is actually a huge bother. Do not start because he wont leave you alone! Tell him it will be well worth it if he were to just go out and pay for both you and him! plus you guys will fight about every haircut!

I use the longest clipper attachment on my guys naturally curly hair. Make sure he is not sweating cuz it gunks up the clippers. ALso do it away from the kitchen cuz it flies all over the place even with no breeze LOL. Part it like you want it (or he wants it) and then just cut carefully. Cut too little at first, easier to cut more than wish you could. Also be free enough to trim again after a shower/hairwash cuz it may lie differently then. The other very very important thing is to use hair scissors only! Invest in some if you don't have them. A kit is fairly inexpensive - about $20. If you use clippers, keep them oiled. Otherwise they pull and don't do a good job. Never use your hair scissors for ANYTHING else. Good luck. I agree it is expensive to pay for "just a trim."
